took a careful look at the versions out, and we went with Home Premium here - if we need the features in Pro / Ultimate later, I can add those with various free and shareware and none of the machines we have currently can reach Home's Ram limit sooooo....

cost us $199 for 3 seats, 32 / 64 included. (the Family Pack)

love it. the Laptop which was running Vista went from a slow sluggish crash prone wreck to smooth fast running and a pleasure to use... my Desktop flies....

just the wifes machine to do now...
